Today I flashed my car from stock to Unitronic Stage 2 for the first time. I put about 20 miles on it and then decided to re-flash to Stage 2 w/Crackle. Also, I am running on 91 octane because that is all we have here within hundreds of miles. Unitronic customer service said my engine should adapt to it after about 50 miles, so we will see. My initial thoughts after about 30 miles:
Pros:
-My CEL (due to aftermarket DP) is finally and will hopefully stay gone.
-Crackle is enjoyable.
-Don't see any reason why I need to upgrade my clutch, yet.
-Super easy to flash from home
Cons:
-Not seeing much of a difference in power
Overall, I think the DP which I have had for about 5-10k miles is the greatest contributor for the tune and since I have had it for so long I am not able to notice a result of the software in terms of power. The DP by itself still stands as my favorite mod on this car. Without the tune, my power, sound, and fuel efficiency all improved as a result of putting in the Aftermarket DP.
I absolutely plan on posting a follow up in this thread in the future. Love to hear everyone's thoughts. Lastly, I do want to mention that Unitronic's customer service has been great as far as answering all of my questions thus far.
